Few More Pics!




Well, I had to go back to the shop, been a long day, while I was there, I took a few more pics. Got a better shot of the one I posted earlier, that one just didn't do them justice. Got one of the Headless Man.....that brings back memories of slumber parties back in my high school days and the ghost stories we used to tell!

Fall, and I am Melting!

Took this pic so you could see the sconces we got, only have 3 of them.
This is a star bird bath or feeder, also got a few pumpkins and some bee skeps.


I just couldn't seem to get a good pic of this group, and they are so neat.

This witch kinda looks how I feel, and hey, probably look like her too!

I just love this guy, have one that stands and one that sits.
Here are some bread boxes I got, I brought some back last year and they flew out the door, so I got some more this year.
There are a few more things, no holds, first come, gets them.

41 Years Ago Today!

Herb and I got married, in Wichita Falls, Texas. We were supposed to get married on August 17, but due to a shortage of funds, I flew standby and got bumped off my plane, so ended up, we got married on August 18, in the home of our landlady. I was just 18, had never flown before, and here I was, flying to another state, where the only person I knew would be Herb, scary to think of that now, but we were determined. Herb had bought a car, and it blew up on the way to the airport, so he had to get a ride, was not a problem, since I would be a day late. Oh, were we crazy or what? We didn't have two nickels to rub together, but we got along just fine. Hard for me to believe we have been married that long.
We just got home from Ohio last night, was there on a buying trip, course got to see my Mom, my sisters and my brother, my other brother was on vacation at Myrtle Beach, so never got to see him. We still don't have the trailer unloaded, worked on it a little today, still have highway
lag, so not moving so quick, will hit it hard tomorrow and hopefully will have some pics to share with you tomorrow night.
Till Tomorrow!

Ready for Fall?







We are getting ready for fall here at Just Country, we don't have everything in yet, but we are working in what we do have, Dee is doing her magic, one thing she did was take one of the birch wreaths with the leaves on it, put some gourds on it(sorry these are mine from home and not for sale), and a couple of our new sprigs we got in and its a beautiful centerpiece! And very prim looking too!

Table Top Bench


Herb has been making some little table top benches, got this idea from my friend BrunieMae, anyway, one of our customers took a pic of how she used hers, and I see several things there she got from our shop, she has it decorated so nicely, thought I would share it with you, its kind of fun to see how our things are used in homes, brings a smile to my face.
It looks wonderful Libby, great job decorating! We have the BEST customers!
And you can click on the picture to make it bigger if you want to see it better, I love that option!

Plain and Simple

Just snapped a pic of the mantel at the shop, I had pulled down from the hot attic the sprigs in the crock on the right, they have that "fall" look that we prim people love! Not fru fru, just "plain and simple".

New Things in the Shop!

Been awhile since I posted last, been a busy time here. We went plundering this week and found a few things, and deliveries keep coming, so the shop is burstin at the seams!

We got some new chairs in and this black bench.

We also found the nicest old carpenters chest that would make a wonderful coffee table, it has two little sliding containers inside that held the carpenters tools, the bottom is one solid wide pine board! Its very heavy, can't imagine what it would weigh loaded with tools!
These are the neatest lawn chairs, was working outside yesterday and went and sat in one and it was so comfortable, next thing I knew I was rockin and starin....course they weren't in front of the shop, they were in the back yard. I have never seen any quite like them, have you?

Customer Appreciation Sale Was Great!

The Customer Appreciation sale is over now, and we had a great turnout. It was a fun day, could hear lots of laughter and giggling and "Country Friends" seeing each other again, feels good to bring all your prim friends together for a day in the country and just enjoying the friendship. And just a reminder, we do "appreciate" all of you. I know we are a destination for nearly everyone and when the yard and parking lot gets full like that, it really makes my heart happy.
Just did the drawing for the door prizes and the winners are:
Pam Porter, White Oak
Libby Fisher, Whiteville
Camille Bollenger, Aberdeen
You each will receive a 25.00 gift certificate.
Thanks again!
Your Prim Friend,
Jen

Customer Appreciation Sale




I think we are almost ready, Dee, Herb and I have been working all day, finishing up and getting ready and we are there! Herb made some cute things, and I got in some really nice birch wreaths, these came with leaves, at first when I took them out of the box, I didn't think I liked them, but after some fluffing and some rain hitting them, they are wonderful(which reminds me, I never brought one home!), Herb made a pouting chair, a little table top bench,(sold two as soon as he brought them in the shop), and the bed bench. We will have some things under the tent, and several things have been marked down, so check it all over really well. Took a pic of the wreaths and the pouting chair(thanks June for telling me about these), see ya tomorrow!

Ever Hear of Osmocote?

I posted a picture of my little wagon, on July 3, since then I put some Osmocote on the dirt and look what happened.....it has really taken off, course we have had some hot days and I water, and that could have alot to do with it too, but I think that Osmocote is great stuff. My friend Sherrie told me about it last year and ......well, just look and see. Then scroll down and look at the other pic, course this is the other side of the wagon, but still....

Getting Ready for our Customer Appreciation Sale


Hard to believe its already July 9! Our Customer Appreciation Sale is just 9 days away! Right now it looks like its going to be a hot one, course in 9 days that can always change. Maybe I should get some more lemonade just in case!

Its been a busy time here at home, we had replacement windows put in and we still don't have everything back in place, who would have thought getting replacement windows would be such a mess? Not me!!! It will all work out in due time. Not getting too excited just yet.

We just got in some more of the stained tablecloths from Family Heirloom Weavers, and some other throws and table squares in Herringbone, also got some of their towels, they are really nice!

Still looking for some new old stuff, seems to go almost as soon as we find it. There will be lots to see, so mark your calender!
